Make money sitting at home drinking beer: Yes we can!

Don’t worry, no Haikus for this issue

I was turned on to several more money making sites, for those my Dear Readers who find themselves in the same unemployed camp as myself.

The first, is another writing website that pays significantly more than the AC site I’ve been working on, its called seed.com

They offer assignments with a price tag, seem to range from $10 to $200. There are several at the $50 rate that I’m going to submit. Wish me luck! (and of course I’ll be posting the link if they are published and begging you to click a bunch. That reminds me: click on the ads here! They pay good money. And I need money right now, we’re running out of Pita bread).

Second site is actually through Amazon (https://www.mturk.com/). It offers up hundreds of small “judgment” tasks that are stupid little things that computers can’t do. These jobs are called HITs, which stands for Human Intelligence Task. The specific type of task varies a great deal, as does the pay. Many of them are real simple, i.e. looking at a picture and then clicking “yes, this item does belong in Automobiles category” or “No, this item does not”, for like, 3 cents. But obviously it doesn’t take long to make that determination, so you can add up pennies at a rate that will soon pay off your candy store debt.

I’ve been checking back on that site and doing little things here and there, have added up to about $20 so far. Its definitely worth putting on your list of sites to check out once in a while (if you are funemployed of course). There was one set of tasks yesterday that involved cutting and pasting from a website, for $1, took me a couple minutes to do each one, so I was clocking somewhere around $12-15 an hour. And I was drinking beer. So I was getting paid $15/hr to drink beer. Talk about living the dream!

Soon I will be doing a post on free alcohol in NYC.

And yes, I have found enough locations with free alcohol to warrant a blog entry.

And no, the list does not include food banks. I’m assuming food banks wouldn’t have beer or wine…Hm, that might be worth checking though.

Okay, nothing else to report.

Anyways, till next time dear readers, have pity on me and click the hell out of my articles!
